Wigfield was out on bond and scheduled to appear for his sentencing on Monday, July 8 but he failed to appear for his sentencing and a warrant was issued for his arrest.

As part of his conditions of bond, Wigfield had been wearing an electronic monitoring device around is ankle. When Wigfield did not show up for court, authorities checked the location of the ankle monitor and the device was sending signals from the Tuscarawas River near New Philadelphia, Ohio.

An extensive search of the river by local authorities failed to locate Wigfield or the device.

Wigfield has been on the run ever since with possible sightings in Florida.
